Everyone is now talking about the ball hitting RVP. Not the performance, Rooney, etc - classic Fergie.

is correct.

When did that happen then?

You obviously know what I'm talking about. It's a bit of an exaggeration but you can't tell me that Ashley Williams hitting someone in the head with a ball was more disgusting than Roy Keane's tackle. Even if, that's a pretty big exaggeration saying that's the most disgusting thing that's every happened in football, ever.

EDIT: Correction. Fergie actually said it's the worst thing he's seen in football for a very, very, very long time. 10 odd years or so could constitute a very, very, very, long time I suppose.

Fair enough. Loads of managers do it by attacking decisions, this is just quite an extreme weird one.

Every game.

Always has had a sublime first touch.

His flicks just make me jizz.

My friend, why did the touches of Dimitar Berbatov, a player with a superior first touch not give you a similar feeling?

They did.

Van Persie gifs!

I like how James constantly calls him lucky when he's hit the bar there, curled one off the post at City, and had a goal ruled out for nothing at Reading.

Hitting the bar isn't unlucky though, because he didn't hit it in the right place to score, it's like just missing, if we wanted to be pedantic though most goals have an element of luck to them.

I think shots like those are a little unlucky. It's not as if he was right in front of goal and smashed the post, which is just shit finishing.

Curled one off the post at Villa too.

Times really have changed.. We were still in the Championship when City got relegated.

We were awesome then and are awesome now, nothing changed motherfuckers.

Can we get a gif of Barry's winner v reading? Is it just me or did it look like a blatant foul. Had his hands all over him. But I want to see it again because I have only seen the replay at a pub a couple of times

Wasn't a foul.

A lot think it is but Shorey didn't do anything, didn't go for anything so Barry had a right to come in like that, if Shorey jumped, just jumped up in the air, Barry hsd to foul him it's his fault.

I was too young for that one, but I remember the second one well.

Ahh

Paul Merson thinks we'll win 5-0 tomorrow. Must have hit the bottle again.

I expect us to win quite easily, I'll go for 3-1.

Tiote is out and there defence sucks and we will obviously concede at least 1 like every other game.
